In Episode 36 of The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker shares the personal story Two Teachers, One Kid, honoring the life-changing impact of teachers who believe in their students and reminding us to “find someone to pass it along to.” This week’s listener question comes from a director struggling with repertoire selection for a spring concert, with practical suggestions for breaking through programming fatigue. Today’s inspiration pairs Cindy Berry’s Restore My Joy with John Rutter’s beloved The Lord Is My Shepherd from his Requiem, performed by The Mountain Park Choir. Tune in for an episode of gratitude, encouragement, and renewal.
